I haven't found a fix, but I found out the corruption is different for different resolutions. I did the following: I edited /boot/grub/menu.lst by adding "vga=ask" to the kernel line. Now GRUB asks you which resolution to use for the splash screen. I tried several resolutions. As far as I can remember this were the results: - 1600 x 1200: corruption as seen on the photo of comment #1; - 1024 x 768: usplash doesn't display the boot screen corrupted, but the boot screen is on the right side of the screen, instead of in the middle; - 800 x 600: The middle of the screen is black, the right half of the boot screen is on the left side of the screen, while the left half of the boot screen can be found on the right side of the screen; - 640 x 480: No boot screen at all is displayed, the screen just stays black.
I've tried splashy, instead of usplash and these are the results: - 1600 x 1200: The same corruption as with usplash; - Lower resolutions: The boot screen is displayed correctly. -- Corrupt splash screen on boot and shutdown since hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219751 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
